Purple Mountain Majesty

12x6 watercolor on 140 lb Strathmore cold press paper, brush only, done this afternoon of an imaginary mountain scene.  Orange and pink skies dominate the landscape while evergreens and pink wildflowers guard the purple snowcapped range in the distance.  Splatters were done when dry over foreground for varied dots indicating blooming meadow plants.

Trees and Clouds

11x15 watercolor on Yupo synthetic paper completed today from one of the landscape photos I posted on WetCanvas.  In the Landscape forum participants have all month to choose their favorite reference and to do a painting in any size or media, then post the results.  In this mountain scene, I especially liked the whispering pines behind the taller foreground bare trees.
